Given the fanatical, misguided, ignorant, uninformed & totally loony garbage these conspiracy minded nut jobs have spewed everytime there's a Ron Paul article in Salon, most of them will either be back in the mental institution, heavily medicated, or wandering around mumbling incomprehensible crap to themselves while wearing tinfoil hats, (to combat the radiation the "guvmint" is sending into their brains to alter their brainwave patterns ya know), when it comes time to vote. They are very annoying yes, but largely harmless, as long as you don't make the mistake of taking their utopian, free market, "corporations & states rights can solve everything", incoherent wackaloon ramblings seriously.
They rarely get a chance to shine. Give them their brief moment in the sun, then they can crawl back under their "flat earth" rocks yet again.
Plus they do provide good fodder to make fun of as well.
